Day Wave and Hazel English present new song, “PDA.” The duo spearhead the lo-fi, sun-drenched, DIY and dreamy indie-rock sound bursting out of the Bay Area, California, and although Day Wave has been Hazel English‘s longtime producer, they have never before officially featured on the same song. Taking note from the forebearers of classic US indie and in memoriam of their youth spent as devout teenage indie heads, the duo finally came together to record their own version of Interpol’s classic PDA – from the debut album Turn On The Bright Lights which turned 15 in September this year.

Speaking on his admiration of Interpol, Day Wave says, “I remember first hearing Turn On The Bright Lights when I was 14. I was blown away. And for me the immediate stand out was PDA. I’ve been playing the song on repeat ever since. I never thought of attempting to cover it until recently, it was almost too important to me. But having been so influential for me, I thought it would be cool to pay homage to the album.”

Hazel English spoke on her experience making the track, “Listening to Interpol really takes me back to my teenage years and I had a really fun time covering PDA with Day Wave.”

Best Of April 2017

California’s Day Wave (Jackson Phillips) today drops his latest track ‘Promises’, ahead of the release of his highly anticipated debut album ‘The Days We Had’ on 5th May via Fiction Records.

‘Promises’ excellently demonstrates Jackson’s ability to create dreamy, lo-fi indie pop; it’s perfectly formed and instantly catchy. The dynamic, driving drum-beat compliments Jackson’s restrained vocals and delicate guitar-based melodies. The end result is both honest and direct; a sound befitting the pleading, open nature of the lyrics.

With less than a month to go until the release of his debut album The Days We Had [May 5, Harvest Records], Day Wave shares the music video for the album’s first single “Something Here”.

Of the Laura-Lynn Petrick-directed video, Day Wave‘s vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Jackson Phillips told Billboard,”We wanted to do something that captured a feeling rather than outlined a story. Something simple that felt real, as if the viewer could see their own life in the video. Laura-Lynn really brought out that vibe with this one.”
